Awful

Awful, unqualified staff. Pastor and his wife care about nothing but money. They cut corners wherever possible and the safety of the children attending is definitely a concern. I'd never send my child here.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I had my 2 years-old daughter enrolled here for 8 months it was great in the beginning they were attentive, but then they started to enroll a lot more kids 15 children to 2 adult ratio in the room & the care drastically declined. They weren't even help me with potty training. They only care about collecting their money not in giving quality care and attention to the children .
